Mothers

There are upon the skin of every
human being, child and adult alike,
2, 100000 pores. Through these
pores in the form of insensible per.
spiration, is expelled more than one
quarter of the nourishment taken into
the system. The importance Of keep
ing open these perspiration valves
upon child's body is second only to
that of promptly digesting the food
eaten. 1t was to open the pores of
the skin and to assimilate the food
that DR.. Pitcher formulated Castoria.
Loose bowels, constipation, fevers
and eruptions which are so constant
among infants and children, and
which kill one.third Of all children
before they are five years old, arise
principally from these two causes. 1t
is from the wonderful results attend
ant upon the use of Castoria in regu.
lating the stomachs and bowels and
keeping open the pores of the skin,
that Castoria acquired its world wide
reputation. With plenty of water
for the body, pure air for the lungs
and Castoria to assimilate the food
there need be no unaccounted for
sickness among children Castoria
is vegetable prescription without
morphine or other narcotic property.
Thirty years extensive use has given
it history never attained by an
other medicine.

A certain yender of the ardent away down
east has presented grievance to the Inter
nal Revenue authorities that need Sympa-
thy to say the least.
Some months ago he took out govern
ment license to enable him, aS he thought,
to sell liquor. He writes that after he had
paid for the document, he was sick for
four months and could not pursue his bus
mess that after recovering he sent to
Boston for ten gallons of "Old Medford; :"
that it was sent, and between the steamboat
and his house was seized by the bloody
sheriffS." He is disconSolate. as he SAYS
he himself consumes from pint to quart
each day. He demands of the government
officials who have charge of the revenue
department, that they at once order those
sheriffs to restore the liquids and give him
chance to quench the thirst of himself
and customers. He awaits decision. In
the meantime his drunkard factory is

All true temperance is gospel temperance,
wherever it may be found. Its friends are

may they labor together in harmony; may

The statement which the weight of four
generations has not weakened is that
Union rivers first settlers, known as the

squad was made up of men, women and
children, from Ipswich, Mass, Cheshire,
